Overview of Southridge Village Retirement Center
Southridge Village Retirement Center is an 89-bed skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and long-term care facility administered by Janet Loftis at 401 Southridge Parkway in Heber Springs, Cleburne County, Arkansas. At 78.8 percent occupancy, above Arkansas’s 71.3 percent average, the facility is in consistent demand for its market area. Privately owned and operated by business corporation Eagle Health Systems Inc., the facility holds CMS Certification and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Private pay accounts for 51 percent of admissions with typical stays around three months, Medicare for 43 percent with stays of one to two months, and Medicaid for 6 percent with long-term stays averaging five to six years.
The inspection record is the facility’s clearest strength. Across 4 inspections over a five-year window including 2 complaint-triggered surveys, the facility accumulated just 12 citations against a 21.8 state average, at 3.0 citations per inspection versus the 5.32 Arkansas average. Critically, not a single citation reached serious or critical severity: all 12 were moderate and have been corrected with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions on record. The leading deficiency category is Quality of Life & Care (5 deficiencies, 42 percent), with the most recent survey in July 2024 citing Quality of Care, Care Planning (twice), and a Nutrition citation from May 2023, a contained, low-severity pattern reflecting ongoing operational attention rather than systemic failures. CMS rates Southridge Village 4 stars overall, with strong performance on health inspections (+38.9 percent above the Arkansas average) and quality measures (+8.1 percent above average), confirming the 4-star designation. Staffing is the one dimension running modestly below par: total adjusted nursing hours are 4 hours 21 minutes per resident per day, 9 percent below the Arkansas average of 4 hours 45 minutes, and the staffing sub-rating is 7.7 percent below average. Weekend nursing coverage of 2 hours 58 minutes per day warrants note, falling below typical benchmarks. The Q2 2025 payroll data shows 126 total staff (113 employees, 13 contractors) with a very low contractor share of just 4 percent, indicating a stable, predominantly permanent workforce. The team includes 52 CNAs, 16 LPNs, 8 RNs, 8 medication aides, 9 clinical nurse specialists, a nurse practitioner, a dietitian, and a mental health service worker. It’s an unusually broad clinical profile for a community of this size. The staff-to-resident ratio of 1.34:1 is 17 percent below the Arkansas average, a figure families should raise when touring.
The therapy and rehabilitation program is fully in-house, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy supported by a certified dietary manager. The outdoor courtyard with gazebo and specialized outdoor therapy equipment are differentiators for a rural Arkansas SNF, supporting both rehabilitation and quality of life programming. Dining draws on Southern culinary tradition: fried okra, biscuits with gravy alongside pasta, chicken, and fresh greens are prepared by dedicated cooks under a certified dietary manager. A daily activities calendar serves both short-term and long-term residents. Revenue is $13.6 million with a $2.2 million profit, though the payroll-to-revenue ratio of 36.6 percent is notably low and may reflect the below-average staffing hours.
Southridge Village Retirement Center suits residents in the Heber Springs and Cleburne County area seeking a 4-star rated facility with an exceptionally clean inspection record, a stable employed workforce, and a full in-house therapy program. Short-stay rehabilitation and long-term care residents are equally well-served by its mix-oriented model. Families evaluating staffing should ask about nurse-to-resident ratios and weekend coverage specifics during their visit.

Overview of Woodland Heights
Woodland Heights Senior Living is a 75-bed assisted living, independent living, and memory care community operated by Milestone Retirement Communities, LLC, under Chanta Dedman’s administration, at 8700 Riley Drive in Little Rock, Arkansas. The facility serves the Big Rock Township neighborhood and is licensed as an Assisted Living Facility Level II by the Arkansas Department of Human Services, Office of Long Term Care.
Catering to residents from active independent seniors to those requiring structured memory care, Woodland Heights’ amenity package is broad for its size. It has 13 amenities: a salon, spa, fitness center, pool, billiards room, library, chapel, covered parking, on-site laundry, additional storage, private bus transportation for its walk score of 37, and multiple dining venues including a private dining room for daily meals and special gatherings. Respite stays are handy for families seeking short-term care during caregiver transitions or recovery. Woodland Heights accepts residents through several Arkansas Medicaid assistance pathways. The Living Choices Assisted Living Waiver, designed for Level II assisted living facilities, may cover personal care, medication management, nursing, activities, and transportation for eligible residents aged 65 and older who require nursing home-level care. ARChoices and the Arkansas PACE program offer additional avenues for qualified individuals, while the Arkansas State Plan Personal Care program is for eligible residents of any age.
Woodland Heights Senior Living suits seniors wanting a moderately sized community with strong amenities, multi-level care continuity, and access to Medicaid waiver programs, particularly families seeking longer-term care transitions in one campus. They must confirm current enrollment and waitlist status directly with the community.
Stoneridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 98-bed skilled nursing facility at 4017 Franklin in College Station, Arkansas, in Pulaski County, roughly 4.5 miles from Little Rock. Operated by StoneRidge Health & Rehab Center, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, the facility holds dual certification for Medicare and Medicaid (XIX/XVIII), making it accessible to residents funding long-term care. They also broaden access for residents relying on public insurance
CMS ranks the facility 3 to 4 stars for quality and staffing measures, with a weaker health inspection rating of 2 stars. A significant operational concern is then worth noting: the administrator position is currently vacant, with no replacement on record after the prior administrator resigned. Administrative continuity matters for daily oversight and regulatory compliance, so families should inquire about interim leadership arrangements. Third-party data also flags a notable compliance and penalty history in the most recent reporting period: 2 fines totaling approximately $107,000, 12 complaints on record, and 3 total penalties imposed. Families must review the facility’s current inspection reports on Medicare’s Care Compare tool for the full per-inspection breakdown before deciding. CareListings also notes the facility may have undergone a voluntary merger or closure and is possibly operating under a new provider number.
A doctor is listed on staff, and there is 24-hour staffing. The center offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, 24/7 nursing and emergency care, on-site therapy and specialty services, and medical oversight for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or those managing complex long-term medical conditions. The facility is close to Arkansas Children’s Hospital and several drug stores within a mile. The College Station location has a walk score of 25, making it modestly walkable, so families should plan for transportation to nearby services.
Stoneridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is best for individuals needing high-level medical support in a facility near the Little Rock metro area and who qualify for Medicare or Medicaid coverage. Given the questions on administrative leadership and current operational status, families must schedule an in-person visit, confirm current staffing levels, and obtain the facility’s most recent state inspection report before enrolling. Confirming the current operational status with the facility or through the Arkansas Department of Human Services is strongly advised.
The Green House Cottages of Homewood is a 138-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility at 215 Homewood Circle in Mena, Arkansas, Polk County. Privately owned and administered by Vicki Hughes through Mena SNF Operations, LLC, the facility holds dual Medicare and Medicaid certification and accepts private pay. Current occupancy is 62.6 percent, below the Arkansas average of 71.3 percent, ranking 111th of 166 and suggesting availability. The facility’s signature is affiliated with The Green House Project, a nationally recognized culture-change model now operating as AgingIN, which restructures nursing home care around person-directed, relationship-rich environments. It incorporates comprehensive dementia education and training into its care philosophy, setting apart Green House Cottages from conventional skilled nursing facilities in the region.
The inspection record spans three standard surveys: December 2022, February 2024, and February 2025, totaling 20 citations. All 20 were moderate in severity. No critical or serious citations were issued, and all have been corrected. No complaint investigations, fines, or immediate jeopardy findings appear in the record. The leading deficiency categories over the seven-year window are Quality of Life & Care (4 deficiencies), Infection Control (3), Resident Rights (2), and Pharmacy Services (2). The February 2024 survey cited Administration, Infection Control, and Nursing Services, while the February 2025 survey cited Infection Control only, a contained pattern with no escalation in severity. CMS place the facility solidly above the Arkansas average across every measured dimension. The overall rating exceeds the state benchmark by 27 percent, with health inspection performance running 38.9 percent above average, staffing 23.1 percent above, and quality measures 8.1 percent above, earning the facility 4 stars from CMS.
Adjusted total nursing hours reach 5 hours 10 minutes per resident per day, ranking 25th among 164 Arkansas SNFs. The staffing model leans heavily on licensed practical nurses at 1 hour 24 minutes per day, LPN hours at 47 percent, above the state average, and certified nursing assistant hours at 3 hours 19 minutes per day, running 22 percent above state. Weekend nursing coverage of 4 hours 29 minutes per day is 29 percent above the Arkansas average, an indicator that staffing levels reach weekends. RN hours, 23 minutes per day, are modestly below the state average of 24 minutes, worth noting for residents with complex clinical needs. Q2 2025 payroll data shows 147 total staff, including 80 CNAs, 22 LPNs, and 6 RNs, with only 5 percent of total hours coming from contractors. The facility primarily serves short-stay rehabilitation residents: 48 percent of admissions are Medicare-funded with typical stays of one to two months, and 44 percent are private-pay with stays of two to three months. Long-term Medicaid residents account for 9 percent of admissions. Annual revenue is $12.3 million with a $1.3 million profit, while payroll costs of $5.4 million amount to 44.2 percent of revenue.
Green House Cottages of Homewood suits individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay who want above-average staffing, a clean severity record, and a care model built on dignity and personal connection. It’s also a strong option for families seeking memory-care-informed skilled nursing in rural southwest Arkansas near Mena.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Arkansas
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arkansas?
Assisted living in Arkansas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arkansas?
Assisted living in Arkansas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Arkansas Medicaid cover assisted living?
Arkansas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Arkansas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 55 assisted living facilities in Arkansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Arkansas?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arkansas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Arkansas?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
